Things changed again. News that set me into discomfort, but at the same time put me at ease. It meant I could let go of worries. I knew I'd had a warning before. but I'd taken no notice until I had proof, but now it was there, plain as day and it's time to face the music. Things, people, everything really, is moving along and it's time I really truly did the same. I'm almost done at the farm, and then I can begin to consider applying for my second year. Which is something that has a much higher chance of happening in the next few months than it ever has before. The thought of applying straight away is more appealing at present than going home and applying at a later stage. Now is the time. Whats left for me there is nothing compared to whats awaiting me here.
Its all so small. I didn't know why I didn't see it before, but another shift in perspective has got me dreaming and looking further, at the bigger picture if you will. There is no future in looking back. It's impossible to move forwards if you are always thinking about what is behind you. There are many possibilities and experiences ahead. More sights, places, tastes, people to meet, dreams to fulfill. Not something I can now imagine doing in one place. It would be impossible to have my life enriched by the place I call home right now.
'The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page'. Yes, I am travelling. I have certainly read more than one page so far, but in truth, I've barely touched the first chapter. I've been skim-reading this whole time. I've not taken in the stories. I've not let the plot develop or fallen in love with the characters just yet. It's time to let it thicken. Read between the lines and really get a grasp on the true story line. I'm ready to be speechless by the twists and turns and unexpected scenes. I'm ready for this book to leave me utterly gobsmacked at the outcome.
So perhaps I'll stay a little longer, catch a few waves, look at the stars. Dream a little more and aim a little higher. I'll get lost inside the pages. This story has the potential to be so intense, you'll never want it to finish....
